Greater Kailash Market in Delhi
HistoryEdit
Greater Kailash 1 was developed in the 1960s by DLF Limited when Delhi Government allowed private developers to build colonies , and is today one of the more affluent neighborhoods in the city. The markets in M and N Block are some of the most popular markets in Delhi, home to a wide range of retail stores, such as Giovanni, Next, Puma, Nike, Adidas and Lacoste, and several restaurants and coffee houses. The N-Block market is the location of Fabindia’s first retail store,and many eating houses.Durgabari, the home of Maa Durga, as it is commonly known is an important landmark in Greater Kailash-I. It all started in 1961 when a handful of residents of Kailash Colony started the Durga Puja in the central park of Kailash colony. At that time only Durga Puja and Lakshmi Puja used to be celebrated annually. In the year 1966, the site of the puja was shifted from the central park to the present location. People then started thinking that only Durga Puja and Lakshmi Puja were not enough and so started the Kali Puja. A society was then formed in 1974 in the name of Durgabari Society and registered in 1975.

Train : For foreigners, it’s easiest to make ticket bookings at the helpful International Tourist Bureau 23405156; 1st floor, New Delhi train station; 8am-8pm Mon-Sat, to 2pm Sun). Do not believe anyone – including porters – who tells you it has shifted,closed or burnt down and don’t let anyone stop you from going to the 1st floor of the main building for bookings. When making reservations here, if you are paying in rupees you may have to provide back-up money exchange certificates (or ATM receipts), so take these with you just in case.

Others : METRO The new high-speed metro line is the best way to get to/from the airport, and runs between New Delhi train station and Dwarka Sector 21, via Shivaji Stadium, Dhaula Kuan NH8 (Mahipalpur station) and Indira Gandhi International station (Terminal 3). Trains operate every 10 minutes from 5am to 1am. Cycle-rickshaws are still in use in parts of Old Delhi, though they have been banned in Chandni Chowk to reduce congestion. Let’s hope they’re not banned in other areas, as they’re the best way to get around Old Delhi – the drivers are wizards at weaving through the crowds. Tips are appreciated for this gruelling work.
